It was 11am yesterday, and I was, quite frankly, stunned. Mrs S had come out into the garden waving my phone... on it was a text saying that I had completed the Eastleigh course in 18:18.
I fumbled the stopwatch at the start, so I had no idea how I was doing. The course was bone dry and the wind was light - perfect conditions. I finished in 5th place - quite respectable, and I felt it had gone OK. I had no expectation of beating my PB in the course of 18:44, set around this time last year.
But clearly everything had come together. The scale of the improvement left me blinking in wonder. I've smashed my ambition of beating my Eastleigh record of 18:35, set at the old course at the university playing fields, and furthermore I've beaten my PB at the Southampton course of 18:22.
Next stop - can I go sub-18 at Southampton?
